Hey, if you're a largely self-taught artist and you struggle sometimes with colors and shading, here's a couple tips for metal:

- never use pure greys. Slight blue tints give it that really shiny chrome/silver/steel look you're probably trying to get with grey- don't be afraid of contrast and sharp edges. Even a perfect metallic sphere looks best with the highlights cleanly defined- instead of using shadows for contrast, use a darker base tone and more highlights
